Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2023-39319

medium Nessus Plugin ID 226039

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of <script, <!--, and </script within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be leveraged to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-39319)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
